After a restless night, Amy, Ray, Lita and Mina arose to find
breakfast already in their rooms.
Mina scrambled out of bed and left her small room, entering the sitting
area that girls had been thrown in the night before. The coffee table in
the middle of the room was covered with plates of hot pancakes, bacon,
sausage and muffins, accompanied by pitchers of milk and orange juice.
Mina licked her lips, forgetting the terrible generals and quickly sat
down and picked at the food.
Moments later, Amy came out of her room holding a book and looking fresh
and wide awake, "Morning, Mina." Amy smiled and sat down on the sofa and
poured herself a glass of orange juice, not acting surprised in the least.
"Food? Where did this come from?" Ray emerged from her room, hair tumbled
and clothes wrinkled. She stared at the food with suspicion and longing.
"Yep!" Mina hummed gleefully and stuffed a muffin in her mouth,
"Boo-burry."
Ray rolled her eyes and sat next to Amy, she stared at the blue haired
girl, "Let me guess, you've been up for hours."
Amy nodded, "I found this book this morning, it's the history of this
area. Quiet interesting. I think it might be benifactual to us in the
future..."
Suddenly a loud thump could be heard in the bedroom Lita was staying
in before a loud groan. Seconds later, Lita opened the door and walked as
lady like to the sofa as she could, as she limped on her ankle.
"Lita, what happened?" Mina asked, after swallowing the muffin in her
mouth.
Lita clenched her teeth, trying not the show the pain that she so
easily conveyed through her limping.
"I just twisted my ankle, it'll be fine by tomorrow." Lita sat down
and looked over the food, "Where did this come from?"
"It came this morning while you were all asleep. The cook that brought
it in was quiet nice."
"Why didn't you wake us up! We could have escaped with the door open."
"There was a guard there, it wouldn't have done us any good." Amy went back
to reading her book.
Ray glared, "So...?"
After the princesses ate and made themselves, presentable five guards came
to escort them to Prince Endymion.
The girls gave little protest since it was still too early in the
morning. Lita had to be supported by one of the guards to even make it
all the way down the halls, she hated being so dependent but she really
had no choice at the moment. The girls were brought to a large door that
soon opened wide for them to enter.
In side, the room was a large sitting area with large windows across the
room, letting in sunlight to lighten the room.
The four guards imediately left while the fifth one stayed to help Lita to
one of the sofas. Once she was comfortable, the fifth guard left as
well, shutting the door behind him.
"And where, pray-tell, is the Prince?" Ray surveyed the empty room.
Amy ignored her comment and sat down. Mina soon followed and began staring
out the window.
Suddenly, the sound of a door creaking open, caught their attention.
All four guards walked in with confidence and approached the sitting area.
Mina, Lita and Ray all glared at the men.
Prince Endymion walked in there after and sat himself down on an
armchair.
The generals took their seats on the sofa, being careful not to sit too close
to the girls. After last night's threats, they looked quite dangerous.
"Morning, girls." Prince Endymion began.
"Stuff it," Ray quickly replied, "We have been brought here against our
will with no reason as to our knowledge. We want answers, Prince."
"That's understandable." Darien nodded thoughtfully. He wasn't sure how
he was going to go about this. He had many questions and he was sure they
had the answers, "You have been brought here because I believe you know
that girl from the arena, Serenity as you called her."
"So? She's none of your concern." Lita bit back.
"Well, not exactly, you see it turns out that when she first arrived
here that... some...ah... acquaintances of mine had kidnapped her and
brought her here to earth. I, of course, took her from them and brought
her back to the portal to the Moon. I had the impression that she boarded
that portal but it seems... she didn't."
"You tried to send her back home?" Mina asked, a little confused,
"And she didn't go?"
"Apparently not." Malachite stepped in.
"Now, I have some questions since you four seem to know her so well.
May I ask, who is she and WHY was she so bent on entering the tournament?
She could have easily gotten herself killed."
Amy looked to Mina, Mina looked to Ray, Ray looked to Lita and finally
Lita looked back at Amy who took a deep breath and nodded.
"Her name is Princess Serenity and she is from the Moon. She's the
Moon Princess, your Highness." Amy replied.
"What?" Endymion wasn't sure he heard right. The Princess of the Moon?
"You mean that is supposed to be my wife-to-be?!"
"What?" All four girls stared at him.
Jadeite cleared his throat, "As fascinating is this all is... WHO are you
four and how do you know the princess so well?"
Ray finally looked away from the Prince and smirked at Jadeite, "We are
her court. I am Princess Ray from Mars. That is Princess Lita from Jupiter,
the blonde is Princess Mina from Venus and the blue haired girl is Princess
Amy from Mercury. It is our duty to protect her as we are also her guards or
as we commonly refer, her scouts."
"Oh, shoot." Jadeite looked at the Prince, "We just captured Princesses,
and not just one but FOUR!"
"You got that right." Ray crossed her arms over her chest.
Meanwhile, Endymion had been only taking in half of the conversation.
The girl Serenity was suppose to marry him, except she disappeared recently
so it delayed it... the girl in the arena, dressed as a boy was supposed to
be his WIFE? He mentally shook his head. What kind of woman was he supposed
to marry? When he first met her she seemed dignified enough, so where did she
go after he left her and WHY in the heck, was a Princess doing in a
tournament?!
"Why was she in the tournament?" Prince Endymion looked strait at Mina,
for some reason he was sure she was more then she made herself out to be.
Mina was a little caught off guard but she quickly recovered and
responded hesitantly, "Well... she ah... kind of has this thing for
tournaments. On the moon, there are tournaments regularly in the capital
city of the moon. Usually, only commoners attend but Serenity seems to find
some kind of excitement in them."
"What I'm trying to figure out..." Amy continued, "Is how she learned how
to use a sword. She's never held one before, as far as I know, but she seemed
to know how to use it well."
Jadeite nodded, "Yeah, she got that guy good! I can't believe he almost
lost to a girl!"
"HEY!" All four pairs of eyes snapped at him.
Jadeite withered under their gaze, "Sorry."
"Guys." Mina suddenly turned worried eyes on Lita, Ray and Amy, "Where do
you think she is now? I mean, who were those men that took her and she
seemed hurt pretty badly."
"Now that, is something I can find out." Prince Endymion stood up and
walked behind the armchair and faced the girls, "A list was made of all
who signed in for the tournament. I'll find out who they are and work on
where they could have gone. Meanwhile, I think it would be best if you
girls went back to the moon and-"
"Whoa! Wait a minute. We're not going anywhere without our Princess.
Queen Serenity is worried enough, it won't do us any good to be up there
when we could be down here helping to find her." Lita quickly cut in,
"She's our Princess and not yours."
Endymion's face turned grim, "At least not yet anyway."
Mina stared at the Prince. She wasn't sure she liked the Prince of
Earth's attitude towards their Princess. She would have to keep a good
eye on him. For if he wasn't worthy of her Princess, there was no way in
heck she was going to let him marry her, she would rather die then help
feed Serenity to a wolf.

Serenity tried to get more sleep before dawn came but it was nearly
impossible with the pain in her side. Finally, just before the sun rose,
she stood up, making up her mind. She couldn't stay here with these
men, especially since they knew she was a girl. She had to escape and-
and what? She didn't have a place to go and she couldn't take the portal
back home... Suddenly, she felt extremely lost. She was alone and no one
knew who she was.
I'm alone.
'The only people that know me are far away. I don't know where Jarick or
Pete are and Amy, Lita, Mina and Ray are back home and so is mother...
What am I going to do? They don't know where I'm at and I don't even know
where I am. I have no food, no money and no transportation except for my
feet.' Serenity bit her lip and turned to stare at the sleeping men.
'What have I gotten myself into?'

To Be Continued...
AN: Sorry it was so short but the next chapter will definitely be filled
with some adventure and even a little romance! MAYBE, a little romance...
we'll see, if not the next chapter, definitely the one after that.
Until next time!
